Whistleblower used $1m in union funds
Self-professed union whistleblower Kathy Jackson used $1 million in members' funds to pay off two personal credit cards she claims to have used on work expenses between 2000 and 2011, despite having a union credit card.
Fairfax Media can also reveal documents provided to the Health Services Union by the Commonwealth Bank in the past few weeks show that between 2007 and 2010, Ms Jackson withdrew a further $220,000 of union funds in ''cash'' using HSU cheques.
The HSU is preparing to provide the documents to the union regulator, the Fair Work Commission, or the royal commission into union corruption, and request they be scrutinised to determine whether Ms Jackson's expenditure was reasonable and subject to appropriate accounting standards.
A cheque signed by Kathy Jackson.
''The amount of union funds that were spent by Ms Jackson ostensibly for work practices is staggering. We don't know for certain how most of the money was used, but there appears to have been no checks and balances in place to ensure it was used in a way the members wanted,'' a senior union source said.
A Fairfax Media investigation has also obtained a leaked NSW police statement that alleges that Ms Jackson knew of serious corruption claims involving Health Services Union bosses Michael Williamson and Craig Thomson for more than a decade before she reported the pair to police in 2011.
The witness, Sydney businesswoman Carron Gilleland, said in her signed police statement that she asked for Ms Jackson's help in 1999 after discovering the possible ''illicit'' use of funds by the pair.
The leaked police statement and other documents also suggest that a private company directed by Ms Jackson and her then husband Jeff Jackson was used both as a secret slush fund and a vehicle for charging the union for ''industrial consulting'' fees in the late 1990s.
The revelations raise fresh questions about Ms Jackson's campaign to portray herself as a union and ALP whistleblower, a position that has seen her praised by Prime Minister Tony Abbott and been used by some to justify the royal commission into union corruption.
Fairfax Media can also reveal that supporters of Ms Jackson are preparing a fresh legal action to place the HSU - which she still serves as national secretary - in administration.
Ms Jackson did not respond to questions about the Commonwealth Bank documents that reveal she used union funds to pay off $1 million in work expenses she claims to have generated on her MasterCard and Diners Club cards, which included a points reward system.
Ms Jackson also did not respond to questions about why she did not use her union-issued credit card for work expenses. She also did not comment on the regular large cash withdrawals, totalling $222,904 over four years, she made using the union chequebook.
